The Republic of Liberia is a state in West Africa on the Atlantic coast. It borders onto the Ivory Coast, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Liberia lies predominantly in the tropical zone with rain forests, the majority of which has been cleared. The interior of Liberia consists mainly of mountainous terrain. The highest point is Mount Wuteve (1,400 m) in the north of the country.<\/p>

Laut einer Sch\u00e4tzung aus dem Jahr 2023 leben zur Zeit etwas 5,5 Millionen Menschen in Liberia.<\/p>

The population growth rate is 2.1 percent per annum. The Republic of Liberia was part of a project since 1821 for the settlement of former Afro-American slaves from the United States. Liberia had already achieved independence by 1847. Despite this model status of an African society as nation of self-determination, the country was characterized by conflicts between the descendants of former Afro-American slaves and long-established ethnic groups. From 1989 to 2013, Liberia was in a state of military-based civil war which had a counter-productive effect on overall development.<\/p>

After more than ten years in a state of war, it was possible to at least reach a peace agreement.<\/p>

Finally, in November 2005, the first free elections were held which have led to a change in the political landscape. Many of the social and political transformations required to achieve a market-oriented, socially fair and democratic society, however, continue to be in the starting blocks. These include a public health system that is capable of achieving the various needs of the very heterogeneous and impoverished population.<\/p>
